Tony does great work and the only one I would let touch my AF guns.
I had tried to help a guy get started in the air gun repair and mod field several years back, about 5 or 6 now if memory serves correctly. I did not think there was any difference in a mod or repair, man, was I wrong and owe Tony an apology and my “opinion” has done a 180. IMO, Tony is the best there is on AF guns and wish I would have sent my gun to him as planned. Well, a quick talking scammer talked me into letting him do the work. I totally screwed up with that decision and you can ask Adam in Ca. about that one and read about it on the Talon forum as well as see pick of the “work” that was done on my gun and the whole point was I was ready to send it off to Tony, but this scammer talked me into allowing him to do the work and convinced me his work was as good- NOT, just check it out on the Talon forums. Tony is the best, takes pride in his work and comes up with innovative ideas and inventions whereas many others just copy him. After seeing Tony’s work compared to the idiots work that was done on my gun, I think a 2 year old could have done as well.

All in all, I owe Tony an apology, publicly.
Tony, I am sincerely sorry for not sending my gun to you, for listening to this scam artist and it wound up hurting both of us. My gun is still messed up, so that is money down the drain and I helped him advertise his work was the same quality as your work. What I didn’t know was, HE SENT HIS GUN TO YOU FOR WORK AND MODS, then passed it off as his own work and I thought, “looks good to me”. Well of course it was, it was your work!!!

What do you think of someone charging to mod guns and he would not even mod his own gun, but sent his gun to you while at the same time charging people about as much as you were charging, only to get a screwed up gun back. I helped him advertise his work, how good it was, it was done faster, etc, etc. His work was good only because I was looking at your work and was done faster because he did not say anything until his gun arrived back from you. I have felt bad about it all this time and all I can do is apologize and let everyone know- TONY IS THE BEST and if for some reason you decide not to use Tony’s work for “whatever reason”, be VERY, VERY Careful as all work is NOT THE SAME. I took a chance, believing this guy to be legit and tried to help him out by helping to get his business started. Nothing against Tony, but just trying to help someone “New” get started, not knowing I was being used for him to do shoddy work, rip people off, and on and on. We both got screwed. I “could have” had a Talon Tunes Gun, but instead, wound up with a DONG gun and if not for Adam, it would still be filled with metal shavings, a valve that did not hold air (not a slow leak)I mean it would not hold 490cc of air for a minute and a LOT of other pieces messed up. If I am ever able to afford it, I WILL BE SENDING TONY A TALON TO WORK ON AND KEEP EVERYONE ELSE OFF OF MY “TONY GUN”

So, the valve looks great and the inserts, what a great idea, looks good and am sure it works great. So, here it is-

Tony, my sincere apologies for helping to point people in the wrong direction and for not bragging on you, but I didn’t know the gun I was looking at as an example of work was in fact- YOUR WORK, that is why it looked so good, functioned flawlessly and everything was so smooth. So, this is the long awaited apology for being played as a fool to believe the gun was built by DONG.
Tony, I am sorry. I believe your work is the best, top notch quality, machining, parts, etc. and Tony does what he tells you he will, THE CORRECT WAY, so, way to go on another great innovative invention plus making the inside adjustable.
I hope you can accept my sincere apology, forgive me for being naive in believing a con man which was lying the whole time, as one day I will be sending you an AF to work on, when I can afford it.

Take care and keep up the great work and for being an honest business man. You are very much appreciated by numerous air gun enthusiasts that if not for you, would be stuck with fly by nights like DONG and wish now I would never have gotten involved with him or his “work”.
Please accept my apology and as always, your work speaks for itself:)
